Chapter 1

The Beginning

"GREAT" I thought as I watched the bus turn round the corner and straight past my stop. I started to walk to school, my copy of Twilight under my arm. I got to the end of the street and was just about to cross the road when the next thing I heard was a massive crash of thunder only seconds before a giant bolt of lightning lit up the darkening sky. I just had time to shove my book in my bag before the rain came pelting down all around me and I was soaked. I started walking again and had gotten all the way to Oxley Avenue when a black Mercedes-Benz slowed to a stop just in front of me, the passenger's window started winding down and I guessed that the tinted windows were electronically operated. I was just about to keep walking when I heard a female calling to me from the car.

"Bella? Bella is that you?" she asked and I looked around to see if there was anyone around that the girl could be talking to. The street was almost empty so I decided to reply to the girl.

"No, sorry, my name isn't Bella"

"Oh right, what was that name she called her? Come on Alice think, think, think, think!" she said half to herself

"Chloe! That was it! Chloe, that's your name isn't it?"

"Yeah, how do you know my name?" I asked her

"Oh, it'll all make sense in the future don't worry, Hey, you looked drenched, do you want a ride to school?" asked the strange girl and I wanted to say no but I was drenched and I really didn't want to walk the entire rest of the way to school in the rain

"Sure, I guess, thanks" I said and got into the car.

"Hey do you want a jacket to keep you warm?" she asked and I then realised that my shirt was very close to going see-through so I accepted the offer and she handed me a simple brown jacket with a hood, "There's a note in the left pocket that says that you have permission to wear the jacket so you shouldn't get caught out too much, just show it to the office and they will let you off for the day. Here we are"

I looked up at her words and saw that we were at the school already "Hey thanks for the ride ..." 'oh no, what the hell, I don't even know her name and she probably said it a few times too' I thought frantically

"Alice" she said and with that I gave her a smile and got out of the car

"Thanks Alice" I called as I shut the door and ran towards the closest shelter I could find from the rain 'The overpass'.

I made my way to where my friends were sitting under the cover of the library awning and smiled at them all huddled together, turning blue when I was actually quite warm in my new jacket.

"Clowza, CHLOE!", was the first thing I heard this morning when I got to Redcliffe High and all my friends "Hey cool jacket, where'd you get it?" asked Lauren

"Oh, Alice gave it to me when I got a lift from her this morning" I replied

"Wow, it is So cool, I want one!" she complained

"Who's Alice?" asked Stacy, one of my closest friends

"Oh, just an old friend I ran into on the way to school"

"Oh, right" she said sounding a bit jealous and with that the bell went and I went to the office to hand in my note before going to form.

"Chloe Summers?" asked Mr Neilson my form teacher as he marked the roll in our out of control form class

"Here" I said even though I was trying really hard not to fall asleep. I had just put my head down on my desk when 'the devil reincarnated' appeared in front of it.

"Hey you know Chloe, If you wore you hair down more often then you might just get yourself a boyfriend before you die, that is, provided you don't let him see your stupid ugly face!" She taunted and I was not in the mood to take crap from stupid Sara and her stupid pose.

"You know what Sara, I don't care what you say to me because all you know how to do is taunt people and be a dumb cow" I said back in my defence and either side let quite a few more comments fly before Sara did the on thing that I could never tolerate, she slapped me. "YOU SHANK!" I practically screamed at her and she picked up one of the chairs behind her and threw it at me. Sara's aiming was REALLY off and I ducked just on time before the chair flew right at Mr Neilson's leg and he howled in pain. "SARA ANDREWS! GET OUT OF MY CLASSROOM NOW!" he boomed in anger and she ran out of the classroom after the normal 'but it wasn't me sir it was (insert name here)' accusations failed.

I was sent to the office as well and we spent an hour and a half in that dreaded place. I was let go after the CCTV footage was seen and now I am sitting in gym with two of my best friends, and the most annoying teacher EVER!

"Hey Chloe, tell us what happened in form, I heard someone had a massive fight with someone else and now the principle's going rank at them!", asked Stacy

"Yeah, I heard she's thinking about suspending them for quite a while", came the dopey voice of Lauren.

"Books out, and quiet please people", came the voice of Mr Hendrickson, "The other classes have booked out everywhere so we're in here today, If you don't like it then too bad because that's just the way life is sometimes." So I write notes which usually end up with us talking about random stuff like what a dog cross a chicken is.

CHLOE: Okay, so I was sitting in form right and suddenly Sara comes up to me and goes

"Oh Chloe you know that if you put you hair down instead of up then you might be able to get a boyfriend because

he wouldn't be able to see your head and so I just went rank at her with all these

great comebacks and then she decided that she was gonna really piss me off and hit me so I called

her a skank and was done with it so she picked up a chair and chucked

It at me but her aiming is SHIT so she hit the teacher and now she's in

shit and I'm not coz she started and I used self defence.

LAUREN: Oh my god that was you?? so what did the principle say

to that??

STACY: Yeah, was she cool about it or what??

Yeah she was just like : oh yeah it's cool coz u were using' self defence and it hit the

teacher anyway so shez gonna get in shit 4 it anyway

Cool so you're off the hook??

YEAH!

Wicked but if we don't do this work then we're gonna b in a bit of shit wth Mr cranky up there --

kk good idea Lolza

Here he comes hide it fast!

"Stacy, Chloe and Lauren, what class are we in?" asked Mr Hendrickson quite smugly.

"Gym?" I answered cautiously.

"Right Chloe, so what could possibly be so amusing to you that you three have to write little notes to each other in my class?" he questioned, now getting a bit peeved at us.

"Just the fact that Sara is gonna be dead this afternoon sir", said Stacy cheekily

"Right Miss Andrews!" He said to Stacy, now well past angry, "You have a DETENTION after class with me! DON'T forget it, and as for you two!" He said pointing to Lauren and me " ONE MORE CHANCE GIRLS!" and went back to teaching.

After class Lauren and I waited for Stacy to finish her detention with Mr Hendrickson, the two of them were having the biggest fight ever when we got told by another teacher who had been watching us, to go and eat something.

The fight went for a while after that and I was now sitting at lunch with Stacy, Lauren, Sam, and the rest of our group which seemed to have multiplied by about fifty over the past year and was now dauntingly large and scary.

"Hey Stacy, what's up with Sam?" asked my friend Sophie

"I dunno" I replied and so I went over to see what was wrong.

"Hey Sam you okay coz you look a bit upset"I trialled

"Yeah I'm fine, who said I look sad?" she asked

"Oh just Sophie" I replied and with that she giggled and got into the everyday party which was lunch for us. I sat through my last two classes and was about to get on the bus with a couple of my friends.

My phone started ringing just as I was getting on the bus and swiping my 'go' card so I grabbed it out. It was just my mother making sure I got home as soon as possible because of the threatening sky lurking dangerously above, and the fact that my 'godmother' Renee was coming over in a few minutes not hours as we had expected. My mother was freaking out but little did I know that what happened next, would change everything.

I got off the bus at Lauren and Sam's stop and we were talking about what we were going to do this weekend when me being my clumsy self, fell FLAT on my face on the road, dropping everything I had in the process.
